The Kingston DataTraveler 2000 brings encrypted data to the average user (and power user alike). Featuring a built-in keypad, this USB flash drive makes it incredibly easy to store your important files in a safe way, while blocking out anyone who doesn't know your private password (which you set yourself). Since no software is needed, it will work on every device: From Windows to Mac to Linux to Chromebook, and even Smart TV!

For offices looking to collaborate on spreadsheets, documents, presentations and more, Google Drive offers the tools to make realtime collaboration possible. In this live demonstration, Robbie creates a blank spreadsheet and shares it publicly. The access you give is up to you. For our demo, it's wide-open for anyone with the link.

Unhappy with the WiFi performance on a Raspberry Pi for watching YouTube videos? Or perhaps the Amazon Fire TV Stick's lack of connectivity drives you nuts? The Qintex R33 Android TV Stick solves both these shortcomings with exceptional WiFi (2.4 and 5GHz bands), Bluetooth 4.1 and both USB 3 and USB 2 ports.

Have you ever had Internet go down, but all it took to fix it was unplugging your modem for a few seconds and plugging it back in? That's an easy fix, but we're not always able to access our modem: perhaps we're not home and want to be able to remote in, but Internet is down. We'll show you a cool smart home device that checks your Internet connection periodically, and if it goes down for a set length of time, it automatically power cycles your modem and router.

Let's use stress-ng to test the CPU of both the Raspberry Pi 3 and the 8-core ODROID XU4Q. We'll also fire up iperf to see how well each board's ethernet adapter performs, and finally we'll run cat5tv-miners, which uses xmrig, to mine some Monero cryptocurrency and see how many H/s each board achieves using CPU mining.

Let's see how the Raspberry Pi 3 and the ODROID XU4Q handle the GNU Image Manipulation Program. In our demonstration, we'll side-by-side compare performance when scaling an image to a whopping 12000x8000 pixels and creating a 20% Gaussian blur.

When a viewer asked about ISP-provided QOS vs Net Neutrality, it opened up an interesting opportunity for Robbie Ferguson to provide a description of Net Neutrality that makes sense even if you don't understand the technical stuff.

WOW! Raspberry Pi fans are die-hard! We've been so impressed with all your comments about our calling the ODROID XU4 a "Raspberry Pi Killer" and felt it seemed important to explain the tongue-in-cheek statement.

The Raspberry Pi got us all very excited about making our own little mini computers, but they're slow and dated. Let's look at the ODROID XU4Q SBC which has a whopping 8 cores, 2 GB DDR3 RAM, eMMC, USB 3.0 and gigabit Ethernet. Put that inside a CloudShell2 case for a 2-drive SATA RAID backplane with a 2.8" color display in a sleek package. This makes for the most gorgeous and powerful DIY NAS server we've seen yet!

There's no better way to wrap up Sasha's gaming rig series than by taking a virtual reality tour of the starship Enterprise NCC-1701-D! Even with the graphics settings turned to EPIC mode and in full resolution, the gaming rig performs like a beast.

From installing the Kingston HyperX Savage SSD to activating the AI overclocking functions of this sweet ROG motherboard and setting our boot order, and finally installing Ubuntu GamePack. All that`s left to do is install our nVIDIA drivers and play games until our eyes bleed.

Mark explains what WannaCryptor is and what makes it so different from ransomware attacks we've seen in the past. We'll discuss the NSA's involvement in the EternalBlue exploit that made it possible, the smokescreen WannaCrypt is creating for the next big cyber attack, why so many companies are still susceptible, and what needs to change as we enter this new era of cyber threats.https://cdn3.taliferguson.com/img/clips_tech/504-mark-skilton-wannacry-interview/854.jpghttps://v.cat5.tv/a/exo5j87tx3/v/techc/i/927/q/ld/CAT5TV-504-mark-skilton-wannacry-interview-WannaCry-The-Fourth-Theatre-of-War-What-WannaCryptor-Reveals-About-Cybersecurity-in-2017-LD.m4v

Stephen Cobb, Senior Security Researcher at ESET North America joins us to shed light on what makes the WannaCryptor malware so much different from past ransomware attacks: worm capabilities. We'll also learn more about the distinction between the EternalBlue code from the NSA used by WannaCry and how it helps the malware break into systems that would otherwise be protected. We'll also clear up mainstream media's reporting of Russia as a target, and discuss scenarios of WannaCry's creation, how it spreads, and whether Mac or Linux are in danger of being attacked by WannaCry.

In our interview with Douglas Preston, New York Times best-selling author, we learn how he and his archaeological team on Honduras used LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging, an alternative to radar using lasers) to detect the location of the Lost City of the Monkey God. They then went on foot to confirm their findings and discovered not just the lost city, but a civilization lost to time.

Review of McDonald's Sweden's new HAPPY GOGGLES!
With only 3,500 in production at the time of this video, they're hard to come by, but we got our hands on the new Happy Goggles from McDonald's Sweden.
The Happy Meal box transforms into virtual reality goggles powered by your cellphone! It's not just a cardboard case though: it's complete with plastic lenses which effectively enhance the 3D experience and make it seem like you're looking at a giant 3D screen!
Since the app is not yet available here in Canada, we reviewed them with the VR Bike app, which is available on both Android and iOS platforms.
